Learn why this is important at [You don't often get email from https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Hello I am writing about the landmark commission application meeting for the property at 801 W. Johanna St While the public commission meeting is scheduled for the 14th it would appear that some demolition has already begun in the front yard area. Further, the back gate has been left disabled and open, as is the back door of the property. As close neighbors to the property we have concerns about this landmark craftsman being demolished, and the apparent haste with which the demo company and or the new property owners are treating the house and land prior to the hearing. Leaving the home accessible while obviously vacant is a concern for our neighborhood which already sees an increase in theft and burglary. Beginning to announce the demolition, and in fact appearing to have begun the work prior to a proper hearing is in the least, disrespectful of the neighborhood and neighbors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Eric Matthies ‐ The universe is ceaselessly creative. ‐ CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

Our staff acknowledges the exterior scope of work notably includes: Exterior Masonry Rehabilitation- • Brick masonry cleaning and repointing with a matching mortar mix and joint profile wherever determined necessary based on an assessment of existing conditions • Repainting of the brick exterior with a similar off-white color as the existing paint • Removal of paint from all sills and lintels to determine whether any natural stone will be repainted or left exposed with selective application of a breathable water-based silane water repellent coating with a matte finish • Removal of all existing caulking and coatings on the limestone column bases and wood columns, including 19th century red and green paint Exterior Carpentry Rehabilitation- priming, and repainting New Mechanical Systems- • Repair and selective replacement of deteriorated areas of wood entablature and soffit • Carpentry repair and selective replacement of areas of deteriorated wood columns before prepping, • Installation of new HVAC systems and ductwork to be installed in the attic, basement and/or crawlspace Roof Replacement- • Roof replacement to replicate the existing single roof design, with all earlier roof structures beneath to remain preserved in-place • Reconstruction of the previously altered rear, west elevation second story roof eave and cornice line to replicate the historic 1903 condition behind the proposed contemporary roof of the new west addition, which will be stepped down in height to reveal the reconstructed eave and cornice line Installation of new gutters and downspouts, potentially with a replicated historic scupper design • New Additions, Basement, and Utility Bunker Construction- • Removal of the 2003 rear, west addition, and construction of a new west addition with a shade trellis …
20 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-152879 WILLOW-SPENCE 1020 SPENCE STREET PROPOSAL Partially demolish and construct an addition to the rear side of a ca. 1912 contributing building. Construct a garage apartment at rear of lot. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a rear addition two-story addition to the existing one-story house. The addition is connected to the main house by a glass hyphen. It is clad in stack bond brick, stucco, and vertical wood siding. The roofline is mostly flat and clad in TPO, save for a small section of standing-seam metal shed roofing. Fenestration is mostly fixed, undivided, and vertically oriented. 2) Construct a two-story detached garage apartment with alley access at the rear of the lot. Proposed finishes and roofline appear to match the new addition. 3) Replace siding, windows, and roof and move the front door at the main house. Construct an accessible ramp and handrail to the front porch. The proposed window and door replacements modify original openings and window configurations. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story National Folk house with pyramidal hipped roof, board-and-batten siding, and inset partial-width porch supported by turned posts. Fenestration includes double entry doors and 1:1 wood windows. The 1985 Willow-Spence National Register Historic District nomination describes the house as “a one-story, board-and-batten cottage with a hipped roof and corner porch. Many architectural details are intact, including a Victorian comer-porch column. New elements include a cement foundation, steps, and porch floor.”1 The house at 1020 Spence was constructed around 1912 as a rental property. Its architectural details share many similarities with “Hofheinz houses,” distinctive National Folk houses rented out in East Austin to working-class families during the early years of the twentieth century by Edmund and Oscar Hofheinz. From the East Austin Context Statement (East Austin Historic Resource Survey), Vol. 1, p. I-40: The first two decades of the 1900s were rampant with development throughout the East Austin survey area …residential construction in these new developments reflected evolving trends in domestic designs, as the eclectic tastes of the Victorian era waned and simpler styles and detailing became more widespread. Among the poor and working classes, new house types began to replace more traditional forms. The linear, one‐room‐deep plans that featured gabled roofs…gave way to a new generation of houses with deeper, more box‐like plans and often had hipped or pyramidal roofs with inset porches. The effect …
